Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a battery module having improved safety, and, more particularly, to a battery module configured in a structure in which a plurality of battery cells or unit modules ('unit cells') are stacked, and a heat sink is mounted to electrical connection regions between the unit cells and/or to outsides of battery module connection members connected to the electrical connection regions.
  • JP-H-11 354166 describes a heat sink which is thermally connected via an insulated heat-transfer sheet with first and second electrode connectors of+/- electrodes of a packed battery, and connecting connectors for connecting batteries in series.
  • the heat sink is thermally connected as the result therein with internal electrodes of the batteries via the connectors and terminals.
  • a battery temperature is controlled thereby from its inside by cooling or heating the heat sink.
  • a secondary battery which can be charged and discharged, has been widely used as an energy source for wireless mobile devices. Also, the secondary battery has attracted considerable attention as a power source for electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (Plug-in HEV), which have been developed to solve problems, such as air pollution, caused by existing gasoline and diesel vehicles using fossil fuels.
  • EV electric vehicles
  • HEV hybrid electric vehicles
  • Plug-in HEV plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
  • Small-sized mobile devices use one or several battery cells for each device.
  • middle- or large-sized devices such as vehicles, use a middle- or large-sized battery module having a plurality of battery cells electrically connected to one another because high power and large capacity are necessary for the middle- or large-sized devices.
  • the middle- or large-sized battery module is manufactured so as to have as small a size and weight as possible.
  • a prismatic battery or a pouch-shaped battery which can be stacked with high integration and has a small weight to capacity ratio, is usually used as a battery cell (unit battery) of the middle- or large-sized battery module.
  • the pouch-shaped battery which uses an aluminum laminate sheet as a sheathing member, because the weight of the pouch-shaped battery is small, the manufacturing costs of the pouch-shaped battery are low, and it is easy to modify the shape of the pouch-shaped battery.
  • Battery cells constituting such a middle- or large-sized battery module are secondary batteries which can be charged and discharged. Consequently, a large amount of heat is generated from the high-power, large-capacity secondary batteries during the charge and discharge of the batteries.
  • the laminate sheet of each pouch-shaped battery widely used in the battery module has a polymer material exhibiting low thermal conductivity coated on the surface thereof, with the result that it is difficult to effectively lower the overall temperature of the battery cells.
  • a cooling system is needed in a battery pack for vehicles, which is a high-power, large-capacity battery, to cool battery cells mounted in the battery pack.
  • Each battery module mounted in a middle- or large-sized battery pack is generally manufactured by stacking a plurality of battery cells with high integration.
  • the battery cells are stacked in a state in which battery cells are arranged at predetermined intervals such that heat generated during charge and discharge of the battery cells is removed.
  • battery cells may be sequentially stacked in a state in which the battery cells are arranged at predetermined intervals without using an additional member.
  • one or more battery cells are mounted in a cartridge, and a plurality of cartridges are stacked to constitute a battery module.
  • coolant channels may be defined between the stacked battery cells or between the stacked battery modules.
  • coolant channels having relatively small intervals are provided in a case in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked in consideration of the size of the battery module.
  • design of the cooling structure is complicated. That is, the coolant channels have relatively small intervals as compared with a coolant inlet port, with the result that high pressure loss is caused. Consequently, it is very difficult to design the shape and location of a coolant inlet port and a coolant outlet port.
  • a fan may be further provided to prevent such pressure loss. In this case, however, design may be restricted in terms of power consumption, fan noise, space, etc.
  • a battery pack requires power corresponding to acceleration performance generated by an internal combustion engine. As a result, very high current may flow in the battery pack for several minutes. In this case, high-temperature heat is generated from electrical interconnection regions between the battery cells, and such heat affects the battery cells through thermal conduction. For this reason, it is necessary to configure the battery module in a structure in which such heat is controlled.
  • a conventional middle- or large-sized battery module used as a power source of hybrid electric vehicles uses temporarily high current.
  • the internal combustion engine is a main power source
  • the battery module is an auxiliary power source, with the result that use time at high current is very short, and therefore, heat sufficient to affect the battery cells is not generated. For this reason, an additional structure or method for cooling the electrical interconnection regions is not considered.
  • the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and other technical problems that have yet to be resolved.
  • the battery module is configured in a structure in which a plurality of battery cells or unit modules ('unit cells') are stacked, and a heat sink is mounted to electrical connection regions between the unit cells and/or to outsides of battery module connection members connected to the electrical connection regions.
  • the battery cell may be a secondary battery.
  • a fuel cell may be included.
  • high-temperature heat generated from the electrical connection regions between the unit cells or the battery module connection members is absorbed by the heat sink, for example, during the charge and discharge of the unit cells, in particular, during high-current discharge of the unit cells, to restrain the abrupt increase of temperature at the electrical connection regions between the unit cells or the battery module connection members, thereby effectively preventing the change in resistance of the battery module caused from physical and/or chemical deformation of the electrical connection regions between the unit cells or the battery module connection members due to high-temperature heat.
  • the heat absorbed by the heat sink as described above is discharged, for example, when the overall temperature of the battery module is lowered, e.g., in a non-operation state or in a low-current discharge state. Consequently, the battery module according to the present invention has a temperature self-control function. Also, it is possible for the heat sink to provide a desired effect without greatly deforming the structure of the battery module or the corresponding connection members of the battery module.
  • one or two heat sinks may be mounted at the electrical connection regions between the unit cells or the battery module connection members according to the specification of the battery module requiring unit cells.
  • the corresponding regions of the battery module at which the heat sink is mounted are outsides of the battery module connection members disposed in direct contact with or adjacent to regions where a relatively large amount of heat is generated, such as the electrical connection regions between the unit cells.
  • the battery module connection members may be bus bars for connecting electrode terminals of the unit cells to external input and output terminals.
  • the heat sink includes a plurality of bar type contact parts configured to be in tight contact with outsides of the electrical connection regions between the unit cells and a connection part configured to integrally connect corresponding ends of the contact parts, and the heat sink is mounted to the battery module in such a manner that the electrical connection regions between the unit cells are inserted into slits defined between the contact parts.
  • the slits are defined between the contact parts, and the electrode terminals of the unit cells are inserted into the slits, with the result that it is possible to fix the electrode terminals of the unit cells, thereby achieving a desired heat dissipation effect while achieving easy assembly.
  • the heat sink may be formed in a shape corresponding to the outsides of the battery module connection members, and the heat sink may be mounted to insides or outsides of the battery module connection members excluding regions connected to the electrical connection regions.
